* The TropeNamer is ''Film/TheGreatEscape'', which featured Danny and Willie, nicknamed 'The Tunnel Kings', as well as Archibald 'The Mole' Ives. Subverted in that Danny has claustrophobia, but it really just makes Danny more of a {{Badass}}; he's scared as hell about the tight corners and cave-ins, but hey, stuck in a German POW camp, what choice does he have? Being portrayed by Charles Bronson also doesn't hurt.

* Baragon and Megalon from the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise, the former uses his glowing horn to light his way underground and employed his burrowing to perform sneak attacks on Frankenstein's Monster and Godzilla, the latter having half-drills for lower arms that he can combine into a drill to move at great speed through the earth, and like Baragon used his tunneling power to outmaneuver and surprise attack Godzilla and Jet Jaguar. Zilla as well, with its son [[WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries Zilla Jr.]] taking it up a notch, as well as comic!Zilla in ''Godzilla: Rulers of Earth'', all using their tunneling ability to move quickly without detection, chase after subterranean opponents, and set up pitfalls and surprise attacks.
